  2. Gingival sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingival_sulcus

    The constant low-level inflammatory reaction in the connective tissue underlying the junctional epithelium also results in the formation of the Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF). The Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) is a serum like fluid that is formed from the post capillary venules of the Dentogingival Plexus which is a dense network of blood ...

  3. Calculus (dental) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_(dental)

    It is caused by precipitation of minerals from saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in plaque on the teeth. This process of precipitation kills the bacterial cells within dental plaque, but the rough and hardened surface that is formed provides an ideal surface for further plaque formation.

    The early lesion displays acute exudative inflammation; exudative components and crevicular lymphocytes reach their maximum levels between days 6–12 after plaque accumulates and gingival inflammation commences [21] with the quantity of crevicular fluid being proportional to the size of the reaction site within the underlying connective tissue.

  5. Colonoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonoscopy

    Routine use of colonoscopy screening varies globally. In the US, colonoscopy is a commonly recommended and widely utilized screening method for colorectal cancer, often beginning at age 45 or 50, depending on risk factors and guidelines from organizations like the American Cancer Society. [9] However, screening practices differ worldwide.

  6. Gingival and periodontal pocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingival_and_periodontal...

    The gingival tissue forms a crevice surrounding the tooth, similar to a miniature, fluid-filled moat, wherein food debris, endogenous and exogenous cells, and chemicals float. The depth of this crevice, known as a sulcus , is in a constant state of flux due to microbial invasion and subsequent immune response.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stool_test

    A multi-target stool DNA test was approved in August 2014 by the FDA as a screening test for non-symptomatic, average-risk adults 50 years or older. [8] A 2017 study found this testing to be less cost effective compared to colonoscopy or fecal occult blood testing. [9]

  8. Oral microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_microbiology

    More than 800 species of bacteria colonize oral mucus, 1,300 species are found in the gingival crevice, and nearly 1,000 species comprise dental plaque. The mouth is a rich environment for hundreds of species of bacteria since saliva is mostly water and plenty of nutrients pass through the mouth each day.
